U.S. Lifeguard Crosses Border To Rescue Mexican Lifeguard

IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif. -- An Imperial Beach lifeguard crossed into Mexican waters to rescue a Mexican lifeguard who became caught in heavy surf while trying to save a drowning swimmer.

Lifeguard Jason Lindquist rode a personal watercraft to the rescue site about one mile south of the U.S.-Mexico border Sunday after Mexican fire officials reported they were having trouble making the rescue, Imperial Beach lifeguard Oscar Alvarez said.

Lindquist picked up the Mexican lifeguard by using a rescue sled. Together, the two men recovered the body of a teenager who drowned in the rough waters off Playas de Tijuana.
